Michelle is the founder of Raz Coaching Services, Coaching Academics, and Thrive Beyond Therapy organizations dedicated to helping neurodivergent individuals build the executive functioning skills needed to thrive in school, work, and daily life. With nearly two decades of coaching experience, she is a recognized thought leader in ADHD, executive function, and neurodivergent learning, collaborating with national initiatives including The Neurodiversity Foundation and the Stanford Neurodiversity Project.
Michelle began this work after seeing a consistent gap: many bright, capable individuals leave therapy or treatment with valuable insights but struggle to apply them in real life. Determined to bridge that gap, she developed structured coaching methods that help clients build routines, manage academic and work demands, regulate emotions, and strengthen independence one step at a time.
Over the past decade, Michelle and her team have supported thousands of students, young adults, and families navigating ADHD, executive function challenges, and other neurodivergent profiles. Her programs focus on the practical skills often missing from traditional academic or therapeutic settings: organization, time management, follow‑through, emotional regulation, and sustainable daily routines. Her team works collaboratively with families, therapists, educators, and treatment programs to provide the real‑life support clients need to apply new skills consistently.
Michelle’s work extends beyond individual coaching to partnerships with clinicians, schools, and national neurodiversity initiatives. She has been recognized by Forbes Coaching Council, contributes thought leadership across multiple platforms, and continues to innovate through technology‑enabled coaching tools that expand access to executive function support nationwide. She is also part of a large neurodivergent family, a perspective that deeply informs her compassionate, practical, and strengths‑based approach.
Outside of work, Michelle enjoys time with her children and staying active outdoors through mountain climbing and skiing.
